In an announcement that flew somewhat under the radar, GameStop announced that it was hiring for its new NFT or Non Fungible Token site. Not much is known about the site yet, except that it will operate on the Ethereum blockchain, and that GameStop is finally making its long awaited entry into the cryptocurrency sector. NFTs have been an incredibly popular way to digitally certify things like artwork, and so this could be an interesting revenue stream for GameStop as Ryan Cohen attempts to rebuild the franchise from the ground up.

Wednesday also saw other stocks like AMC (NYSE:AMC) and BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) surge as sympathy plays to GameStop. The rally also came alongside a rebound in the cryptocurrency markets, as Reddit investors continue to move back and forth between cryptos and meme stocks. It is estimated that the latest short squeeze cost hedge funds over $754 million on Tuesday alone, and there could be a lot more pain incoming as Redditors are refusing to let off the gas.
